It was good that after this time pa.s.sed Zhang Yi could finally move on to the supreme understanding of the laws of time, he was shocked by how much his mastery of the laws of time had increased.If he wanted to, he could increase a ratio of 30 to 1 in time within his distorted timeline, so 30 years in his s.p.a.ce would be only 1 year in the divine plane, of course, he didn"t think to do something like that.
But other things were much more useful to him, he could for example almost completely stop the movement of a warrior of the same realm than him, someone in the emptiness realm would move slowly and someone in the emperor"s realm would also be affected.
That"s because after those 6 years he had finally reached the realm of soul refinement, going through the celestial tribulation was very easy for him who had the mental energy to protect his soul and a very strong defense to protect his entire body.
In addition, he had supreme understanding in the laws of lightning and could greatly diminish the strength of tribulation with that, in these 6 years Zhang Yi had reached the advanced layer of the first realm of soul refinement.
He also reached the advanced layer of the first level of the tenth realm of mental energy and also of body refinement, the world of mental energy was even larger and had spiritual energy for someone from the soul birth realm to cultivate.
Even though Zhang Yi didn"t care about that anymore because he thought he might die after a few years and maybe he couldn"t even see his mental energy world get any bigger, Zhang Yi now only cared about his fighting strength.
Now that he has reached the realm of soul refinement the essence of the phoenix flame has reached the peak of the emptiness realm, Zhang Yi could feel that once he has reached the peak of the emperor"s realm the essence of his phoenix flame would no longer increase in a realm of force that way and would only strengthen with Zhang Yi.
He had expected this and was even surprised that the essence of the phoenix flame he received in the hope world had so much potential and helped him for so many years even the emperor"s realm.
It was surely the most useful treasure he received along with the blue turtle jewel that helped him cultivate faster with his mental energy, even after the emperor"s realm would still be useful for the struggles along with his supreme understanding of the laws Of fire.
The phoenix flame was the strongest and n.o.blest of all the divine plane, it was not for nothing that his master sect Feng Ran Sacred Phoenix Sect was one of the 10 best sects of the divine plane.
Most importantly, Zhang Yi could finally go to the tournament that would start very soon, it would be the biggest tournament in the entire divine plane and almost all sects from all regions of the divine plane would partic.i.p.ate.
Zhang Yi had to strive to get to the soul refinement realm because he wanted to partic.i.p.ate in this tournament too, the greatest geniuses of all sects would partic.i.p.ate in this tournament and so he thought that some opponents of the soul refinement realm could fight him in this tournament.
Of course, if he used the essence of the phoenix flame he could easily fight enemies from the peak of the emptiness realm, using his sacred domain. Zhang Yi thought he might even fight someone from the emperor"s realm depending on the level of the opponent.
The difference between the realms widened as the realms grew louder, using the sacred domain and the essence of the phoenix flame and all the techniques he had on Zhang Yi could kill someone from the peak of the emptiness realm when he was in the soul birth realm.
But he would not be able to do that against anyone in the emperor"s realm now that he had reached the realm of soul refinement, so Zhang Yi"s goal if he thought to take revenge on elder Su Lian was to reach the realm of emptiness.
When Zhang Yi stepped out of his mental energy world he also stepped out of the isolated cultivation he was in, a few days before the tournament and the elders were eager to see Zhang Yi stepping out of his isolated cultivation.
After all, Zhang Yi was the most important guest for this tournament as he would find out who were the disciples and elders infiltrated by the soul eater organization, they were also waiting to see if Zhang Yi would reach the realm of soul refinement.
Normally it was impossible to expect anyone to advance so many levels of cultivation and even the barrier between one realm and another in cultivation, but Elder w.a.n.g and Elder Lu agreed that Zhang Yi would reach the realm of soul refinement before the tournament.
Because of this, they would have to wait to put Zhang Yi"s name on the soul-refinement realm warrior list in this upcoming tournament, so when Zhang Yi stepped out of his isolated cultivation in a soul-refinement realm all the elders were pleasantly surprised.
So the surprise that Zhang Yi would bring to the other sects was even greater, having reached the realm of soul refinement before age 60, to reach before age 400 one would already be considered an incredible genius.
Elder w.a.n.g knew that Zhang Yi had much more to show and was hiding, he hoped that Zhang Yi would have a fight that needed to show everything he could in this tournament, but if even at the beginning of the soul birth realm he could already beat someone from the ninth-level realm of the soul-refinement realm, now that would be much easier.
The largest sects of the divine plane had combined to bring almost all the disciples of all territories into this tournament, could partic.i.p.ate in this tournament anyone who was in the realm of soul refinement and the realm of emptiness and was less than 2,000 years old disciples of emptiness realm and a thousand years for disciples of soul refinement realm.
Just as they had thought who was in the realm of soul birth could not partic.i.p.ate because he was not considered an elite disciple in the divine plane, so that was one of the reasons why Zhang Yi wanted so badly to reach the realm of soul refinement.
The other sects were also practically obliged to take all the disciples from all territories to this tournament; if not all the disciples would bring these sects could be considered allies of the soul-eater organization.
For this to happen the tournament would be held in a separate world that stood on the divine plane as the hope world was, but this world was much larger than the hope world and also much larger.
The major sects sent the strongest elders who had special talents to prepare for this tournament so that all sects could partic.i.p.ate, those with an understanding of the laws of s.p.a.ce created distortions to make it appear that everyone was in a much smaller s.p.a.ce.
